SARGA.CO – Horses may not speak like humans, but that doesn’t mean they have nothing to say.
Through ear movements, tail swishes, and even their breathing, horses are constantly communicating messages.
If you want to become a true friend to your horse—or even dream of becoming a professional jockey—understanding their body language is the first step you must master.
Let’s get to know horse body language so you can understand what they’re feeling!
This means the horse is focused. They may be interested in something, listening to a new sound, or ready to receive your instructions. Full attention!
Watch out! The horse may be angry, scared, or uncomfortable. If this happens, give them some space and try to identify what’s causing the distress.
It’s not just for swatting flies. A rapidly swishing tail can also signal irritation or discomfort. If it keeps happening, check for anything that might be bothering the horse.
This action often indicates restlessness, impatience, or boredom. They could be waiting for something—or just craving your attention.
If a horse appears to be chewing even when there’s no food, it typically means they’re relaxed and comfortable. It can also be a sign they understand the cue you’ve given. Good job!
Sometimes it’s a sign of relief, other times it’s their way of saying hello. But if it happens too frequently, it could indicate a respiratory issue or fatigue.
It may look funny—like a big grin—but it’s actually how horses analyze interesting scents.
The more time you spend with your horse, the more fluent you’ll become in reading their body language. This leads to a stronger bond and a more enjoyable training experience.
